As yoga teachers (or just regular humans!), we?re often forced to put ourselves ?out there? where others can judge us ? and it can feel terrifying. Maybe you?re terrified to get a negative comment on social media. Or you overthink every single thing you post. Maybe you think, ?Who am I to teach? Who am I to share?? Or you?re caught in a cycle of self-sabotage, worrying about what others think. In this episode:
?Learn about the brain?s negativity bias and strategies to cope with out
?Understand why your fear of being judged is normal, and how to work through it
?Why you *want* to repel as many people as you attract
?What makes a powerful brand

Today, I interview one of my personal teachers and mentors, Anodea Judith PhD, about reclaiming female archetypes of leadership. It?s time for women to rise up and take on more leadership in today?s world. Because women lead differently than men, their contributions are often unrecognized, even by the women themselves. But with archetypes to guide us, women and men can recognize, honor, and activate the many ways women uniquely contribute.
Together, we?ll dive into Anodea?s brand new 38 card archetype deck, including an empowering poetry reading on what it means to be the YOGI archetype. Discover ancient archetypes, such as the Priestess, the Oracle, or the Midwife, as well as newly emerging ones, such as the Activist, the Diva, the Yogini, or the Stateswoman. Learn:
? How to awaken your innate female leadership style
? The difference between an archetype and a stereotype
? What does knowing about these archetypes offer you
Don?t miss this special conversation with one of my very favorite teachers.
GUEST EXPERT: Anodea Judith, Ph.D. | www.SheRisesCards.com | https://sacredcenters.com/
Anodea Judith, Ph.D is a globally recognized teacher and the author of 9 books on chakras, yoga, psychology, social change, manifestation, and feminism, including the classics, Wheels of Life and Eastern Body-Western Mind. Her books have been translated into 28 languages and her transformational workshops have been taught all over the world. Her most recent work, SHE RISES, centers on the ascension of feminine leadership and includes 38 illustrated cards of female archetypes.
She holds a master?s degree in Clinical Psychology and a doctorate in Mind-Body Health, with additional trainings in a variety of yoga and healing disciplines. As a member of the Evolutionary Leadership Council, she is passionate about evolution and the role women can play in creating a new world of justice and sustainability.

Living with chronic pain can be a nightmare. Teaching a yoga student with chronic pain can feel intimidating. Today, I?m joined by Uplifted 200-Hour and 300-Hour graduate, Kim Patel, to unpack how chronic pain is different from acute pain, and how to work with chronic pain in a yoga context. This fascinating conversation leads us into an in-depth conversation about the brain, the nervous system, phantom limb syndrome, as well as stories from my own life as the daughter of a war veteran with chronic pain.
Kim was working as a nurse when she developed a long-term pain condition related to her pregnancy which first sparked her interest in pain management. Kim offers one-to-one bespoke pain management blending her nursing knowledge and pain management qualifications with counseling, mindfulness, meditation and movement including yoga. She?s now in the final stages of her doctorate looking at chronic pain and self-concept related to acceptance.
This is a must-listen for any yoga teacher looking to support students with injury, illness or pain.

After much heartbreak and loss, she wasn?t sure she ever wanted children, but now applies ancient yogic wisdom to motherhood. This is a beautiful listen for any yoga teachers, prospective parents or those with kids at home.

I bet you thought the goal of yoga was to achieve samadhi or enlightenment, right? WRONG. More precisely, yoga is about dismantling the 5 kleshas (obstacles) which prevent us from realizing that samadhi (bliss) is our natural state. Deep dive with me into eleven critical epithets: Verses 2.1 to 2.11 of the Yoga Sutras, where I?ll give the often overlooked kleshas - the obstacles and afflictions that cause suffering - the attention they deserve. Discover:
? Why the concept of avidya (ignorance) is often mistranslated and misunderstood
? How the kleshas aren?t created equal, but actually function in a hierarchy
? How to ?grade? your kleshas using Patanjali?s framework
? Why the kleshas likely won?t be eliminated (no matter how much you practice), but how you can leverage them to become more discerning in your day-to-day life.
If you enjoyed the episodes where I?ve read the Yoga Sutras aloud, you will love this nerdy episode.

Join me as we discuss embodiment from a neurodevelopmental perspective with incredible physical therapist Lara Heiman. Do you love sinking into a low lunge? Lingering in hip openers? Flowing through feel-good movements? (My hand is raised!) While all of this is okay, our most sophisticated practice develops when we prioritize stability over mobility. In particular, when we truly honor the pelvis as our seat of power.
Listen and learn:
?Practical functional movement tips to honor pelvic stability in your personal practice or public teaching
?Why you and your students? hips may actually be ?tight? due to overstretching
?The importance of touching your body to provide feedback so you can change ?the inputs? in yoga postures and find ?side doors? that reconnect you to your most embodied self.
Yes ? we also touch on Kundalini Awakening. Don?t miss this spectacular anatomical conversation that touches on all the major trends in the wellness industry right now. Yoga geeks, get your pencils out!

I?m joined by Uplifted Lead Teacher Trainer, E-RYT 500+ Katrina Marie, who has a background in biological sciences, somatics, and a deep love of yoga, especially Kundalini. She is the author of a meditative trauma healing journal for women, a virtual and local studio owner, and one of our very own lead teacher trainers on all three of our Uplifted trainings. Get ready to learn:
?Why Kundalini Yoga can lead to a break-through or break-down, depending where you?re at in your journey

?The difference between big ?T? and little ?t? trauma
?Amazing trauma conscious cues you can say when teaching a Kundalini Yoga class.
Katrina survived an eating disorder, a school shooting and an abusive marriage. Kundalini Yoga was the game changer in her healing. So many trauma survivors could benefit from Kundalini Yoga, but they are intimidated. Find out why it doesn?t have to be that way.
Key trauma informed phrases from Katrina:
??Do ____ for as long as feels comfortable?
??Try this on?

Kundalini yoga is a deeply spiritual practice. In fact, many say that the Kundalini process can lead to a spiritual awakening. And while spiritual enlightenment sounds like a really good thing, it can come with a whole lot of intense experiences (headaches, nausea, YUCK).
The way that yoga talks about this spiritual experience is through the Kundalini process, where prana (life force energy) moves through the subtle body (aka your spinal column) until it reaches the Sahasrara Chakra at the top of your head?
?to awaken Kundalini.
Before you go chasing the Kundalini experience (like I did), take some time to get acquainted with the Kundalini awakening process. There are a few things you should know about awakened Kundalini, first.
And then I?ll share my tips on how to use this ancient practice to achieve your own spiritual awakening too.
So buckle up. We are about to embark on a spiritual journey.

My guest today leveraged yoga to overcome 17 orthopedic surgeries and regain her mobility so she could do what she loved ? hike, backpack and garden. Did you know our connection to nature is a profound tool in our healing journey? Yet nature is a tool that most yogis and yoga teachers completely overlook.
Today, we hear Andrea?s inspiring yoga transformation story. How she shifted her mindset from a victim mentality into one of abundance, where she is now thriving. At age 50, Andrea took her first Uplifted Yoga Teacher Training, became a leader in our Uplifted Teacher Training world, got certified as a Mindful Outdoor Guide, and is teaching multiple classes at two YMCAs. In this episode, Andrea provides practical ideas about how you can take your mindfulness practice outdoors and allow nature to soothe your nervous system. She explains the parallels between yoga and spending time in nature, with lots of practical tips about how to get outside in order to shift into specific moods or emotions. Mindfulness inspired by the natural world is a perfect partner to the practices of yoga, and you?ll leave this episode inspired with easy ideas.

What is Kriya Yoga? It depends who you ask! In this episode, I work to demystify this term. We look at how ?kriya yoga? is interpreted by
? Paramhansa Yogananda
? Ayurveda
? Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras
In this episode we talk about Yoga Sutra 2.1 and why I?m obsessed with this idea of ?yoga in action? alluded to by ?kriya yoga.? Jumping from a basic asana practice, where you move through each yoga posture for physical benefits, to a spiritual practice as outlined by the kriya yoga tradition can be a little confusing. But it doesn?t have to be! Listen to this episode to learn more.

I used to hear the word ?boundary? and thought that it meant putting up an energetic brick wall. This was not fun (and not feasible). In today?s episode, I share practical tips about what I?ve learned on setting and holding boundaries with an open heart. Most of us have been conditioned to think that ?boundaries = confrontation? and even physically tense up when we have to hold a boundary or say ?no.? The tips I share today will help with that:
?Notice boundaries in nature
?Make your boundaries intensely personal (even if they are outlandish)
?Get clear and accept the boundary within yourself self (otherwise you can?t expect anyone else to uphold it
?Deliver your boundary with an open heart

Let?s talk SNAKES! ? And join me for the upcoming Kali Yoga Challenge. You may know that Kundalini has been historically represented through the symbol of the serpent, but why? Why a snake? As most ancient yogic translations, it all starts with Sanskrit. The translation of ?Kundalini Shakti? from Sanskrit to English is ?Serpent Power?.
This coincides with the movement of energy released within your body from the base of the spine up through the crown. This Kundalini energy is said to be like a snake, coiled at the base of the spine waiting to be released to your highest power. Symbolically this energy also moves like a serpent and is awakened by specific meditation and consciousness techniques.
In this episode, I nerd-out on all things Kundalini. The iconography of the snake, cross-cultural significance of the serpent, and why this knowledge is essential to unlocking the full potential of your personal practice.

Kundalini yoga is unlike any other type of yoga that you might practice. Where hatha yoga and vinyasa flow might focus on the physical exercises (asana) that yoga has to offer, Kundalini focuses on the spiritual practice of yoga. It?s about the energy body as opposed to the physical body.
Don?t worry, it?s not as scary as it sounds.
Kundalini Yoga is the ?yoga of awareness,? and we unpack exactly what that means in this juicy episode.

We?re going to do all of that together every Wednesday as part of a *NEW SEASON* of the podcast I?ve put together for you.
Today?s behind-the-scenes ?tell all? episode divulges how Uplifted Yoga got started. You?ll hear my fears, insecurities, and lowest moments. Just when I thought I finally had it all figured out, 2020 changed the yoga landscape, my business, and personal life forever. My own nervous system is still recovering. And I want to share everything I?ve been learning with you.
